I don’t understand, what does that say in english?
Answer:
Explanation:
The first one is CrO. The Chromium has the same charge as the oxygen so mol numbers are dropped.
The Second one is CrO2 The two oxygens have a charge of 2(-2) = -4. To balance this, the Chromium must have a charge of +4 Cr(Iv)O2
The third one is can be set up like this
Cr + 3(-2) = 0
Cr - 6 = 0
Cr = 6
Therefore the formula is Cr(vi)O3
The last one is a bit tricky. Follow this carefully. There are 2 Crs and 3Os.
The formula looks like this
2Cr + 3(-2) = 0
2Cr - 6 = 0
2Cr = 6
Cr = 3
The formula is Cr(iii)2 O3
